Correspondence from Ashanti Region The healthcare system within the Ashanti Region is suffering a severe impact from the strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), just three days after the action began.
The strike is badly affecting some key hospitals in the Ashanti Region, including the Suntreso Government Hospital and the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, among others.
A visit to Suntreso Hospital by 's Ashanti Regional Correspondent, Gideon Nana Peprah, revealed a stark and troubling scene.
The hospital, normally bustling with activity, was eerily quiet, with a significant backlog of patients and treatment processes grinding to a halt due to the drastically reduced nursing staff. "The impact of this strike is devastating," a hospital source told . "We are struggling to cope, and patients are suffering as a result." The strike, which began on Monday, June 2, 2025, stems from unresolved grievances over nurses' conditions of service.
